Former Miami Vice star Don Johnson is under investigation by German authorities after $8 billion US worth of credit notes, cheques and securities were found in the trunk of his car.

German customs officials found the documents crammed in a suitcase after stopping the 53-year-old actor when he crossed the Swiss border last November.

Johnson, who was travelling with three companions, was held up for several hours as authorities photocopied all the documents. No charges have been filed but American tax and custom officials have also been informed.

German authorities confirmed Tuesday that Johnson, whose last television series was Nash Bridges , is a suspect in a money-laundering ring.

Johnson told the New York Post that he was on his way to buy a car and that none of the documents belonged to him.

"They're all legitimate papers and stuff from a passenger that was in the car. It has nothing to do with me," he said.
